. ". . . Frank followed in his dad's footsteps and worked and retired from Singers. He married Louise Beck and they had five very healthy children, raised on the farm near Lydick. Where, for many years we enjoyed our early reunions and spent a few vacation days each summer. There was Francis, Leo, Edmund, Raymond, and finally Veronica, who couldn't help being a tom-boy. Uncle Frank died in 1968 and Louise in 1966."
